On This Day, Celtic travelled to Tannadice under Gordon Strachan as the Champions-elect looked to take a step towards the league title. It was through a sensational piece of skill that Strachan’s side took the lead. The Japanese playmaker stepped up and delivered an inch perfect shot that left the United goalie flat footed.
